Golden Fishing Village

It is precisely because it has a wide tail and the lower half of its body that it can stand up halfway with its head supported.

Scanning its appearance, Ao Muyang's eyes were attracted by the stripes on its back. These stripes are yellow and black, colorful and orderly, like tiger stripes!

Seeing this, Lao Ao covered it with a fishing net and took the initiative to act.

The big mantis shrimp was still not panicked after falling into the fishing net. It waved its forelimbs fiercely and sawed at the net line. This is different from all marine creatures, and its aggressiveness can be seen from this.

Dragging the mantis shrimp, Ao Muyang quickly floated to the surface of the sea.

When everyone saw him holding a fishing net in his hand, they asked: "Did you catch the mantis shrimp, Longtou?"

Ao Muyang did not answer this question. He said to Ao Mudong: "Brother Dong, you are lucky. Fortunately, you didn't directly attack the mantis shrimp just now, otherwise you would have bruises or at least fractures!"

"So exaggerated?" Ao Mudong himself didn't believe it.

Ao Muyang dragged the mantis shrimp out of the water and said, "What fierce mantis shrimp? This is the spotted harp mantis shrimp! A real mantis shrimp, the largest mantis shrimp discovered in the world!"

Mantis shrimp, mantis shrimp, and mantis shrimp are essentially different names for the same species. The accurate translation of its English name is mantis shrimp.

But for domestic scientific researchers, mantis shrimp refers to a few unique shrimps, such as peacock mantis shrimp and this spotted harp mantis shrimp.

The spotted harp mantis shrimp has a fierce temperament and sharp eyesight. When attacking, it can exert arm strength up to 2,500 times its body weight, which is much more powerful than ants that can only lift objects weighing fifty times their own body weight.

In addition to having a fierce temperament and strong arm strength, the spotted harp mantis shrimp also has a pair of spears and shields, which are their forelimbs, that is, their front claws.

The front claws of the spotted harp mantis shrimp have evolved to be extremely terrifying. It consists of two parts, the chitinous bulge at the front and the serrated forelimbs extending backwards.

The chitinous bulge is a shield that can be used to knock the shell of food. The broken snail shells that Ao Muyang saw earlier were its masterpieces.

Breaking the snail shells does not show the strength of their front claws. According to the evaluation, the striking force of large spotted harp mantis shrimp can reach the shooting force of a 0.22-inch caliber pistol.

Therefore, ordinary people in Europe and the United States are not allowed to raise this thing. The striking force of their front claws can break the glass wall of the aquarium, posing a life threat to the breeder.

Its spear is a serrated forelimb, which can cut the soft tissue and meat of marine organisms. At this time, this mantis shrimp is fiercely cutting the network line to escape.

The more ferocious, the rarer. The mantis shrimp family is extremely large, with a total of more than 400 species, and the spotted harp mantis shrimp is one of the few with the smallest number.

Ao Mudong and his group didn't know much about the spotted harp mantis shrimp because they had never come into contact with it. Ao Muyang knew about it because he raised fierce mantis shrimp and specifically asked Li Ji and Su Penghui to learn about this species. When Li Ji introduced fierce mantis shrimp, he also introduced the spotted harp mantis shrimp to him.

At that time, he thought that the names of spotted harp mantis shrimp and fierce mantis shrimp were wrong and should be changed back, because the spotted harp mantis shrimp is really fierce. In fact, it has a nickname in Europe and the United States, called tiger mantis shrimp!

After catching this spotted harp mantis shrimp, Ao Muyang was very excited. There are many mantis shrimp caves on the seabed, which have a strong fishing value.

When Ao Mupeng heard that he had arranged to catch the spotted harp mantis shrimp, he asked, "Brother Dong, is this mantis shrimp valuable?"

"Definitely valuable," Ao Mudong said, "Look at its head, damn, one is enough for a meal."

Ao Muyang said, "They are indeed valuable. Let's catch them and bring them back, and raise them in my fishery. When we have a large scale, we will make a fortune."

The economic value of spotted harp mantis shrimp ranks the highest among all mantis shrimps. It is a nutritious, juicy and tender seafood food. It contains high protein and multiple vitamins, has extremely high nutritional value, and has the effects of promoting blood circulation and promoting body fluid.

In addition, all mantis shrimps have the effect of nourishing yin and strengthening yang in traditional Chinese medicine...

Ao Muyang asked people to paddle the raft back to get the cage and other tools. He explained the habits of spotted harp mantis shrimp to the rest of the people and prepared to dig mantis shrimp holes later.

The spotted harp mantis shrimp is an underwater killer. They are fierce and secretive. They mainly build caves in sand, gravel or mud. In addition to hiding in caves, they also like to live in large cracks and crevices in corals, and even curl up their bodies to hide in large shells. It takes a lot of effort to find them.

"Also remember, this thing is very good at swimming and swims very fast, so don't disturb them too much when looking for caves. After finding the cave, just set up the shrimp cage, and wait for them to take the bait." Ao Muyang finally reminded.

The method of digging shrimp holes to catch mantis shrimps like he just did will not work. The spotted harp mantis shrimp is fierce and lethal. If you accidentally let it hit your hands and legs, it will at least hurt your bones.

At this time, their boat is on the sea, and the doctor on the boat is himself, a half-baked Chinese medicine doctor. If there is a problem of broken bones and tendons, it will be really difficult to deal with.

Lao Ao originally planned to stay here for half a day to collect the agar, but after finding the spotted harp mantis shrimp, they have to wait a little longer.

The group dived in the reef area to find the caves of the spotted mantis shrimp. They searched the surrounding sea area from almost noon to afternoon.

The shrimp cages and fishing nets covered the shrimp caves, and they would be caught as long as they emerged.

This caused another problem. The spotted mantis shrimp had to emerge on their own initiative. If they hid in the cave, then this arrangement would be in vain.

Ao Muyang was confident that they would come out because he had the golden drop as his trump card.

Seeing that the trap was deployed, Lao Ao waved his hand to signal the others to go first: "Take the agar, crabs and mantis shrimps to the boat, I will stay here and look for more."

Ao Mudong said: "Let's go together, Longtou, the brothers have just confirmed that all the mantis shrimp holes are blocked by cages and fishing nets, and there are no loopholes."

Ao Muyang shook his head and said: "You take the people back first, be careful of these mantis shrimps, don't let them touch people, I will continue to look."

Seeing his firm attitude, Ao Mudong had to shrug and lead the team back to the boat.

In the afternoon, they found some mantis shrimps outside the cave. There were more than 50 of them, and the big ones weighed one pound, which was very satisfying.

When the raft left, Ao Muyang dived into the water and wandered around.

Drops of gold scattered into the water, and he swam very fast, so that the gold drops that merged into the water were stirred up, and the reefs and the surrounding fish, shrimps, crabs and shellfish all took action actively.

The mantis shrimp was domineering, and after noticing the existence of the gold drops, it was even more anxious to get out.

Now, the shrimp cages and fishing nets have harvested, and the mantis shrimp fell into the trap after getting out.

Ao Muyang was very happy, the gold drops were the hard truth, and they would never let him down.

After releasing enough gold drops, he emerged from the water and boarded the last raft left for him, and paddled back to the boat to prepare dinner.
